30-32 feet sailboats for 8000-12000 euro: what to expect?
It is a fully-featured house for living, the only missing thing is the shower but almost every marina is equipped with the shower or you can also organize the shower in the cockpit if you install additional flexible water tanks (the price paid is 200-300 euro).
Ceiling height in the yachts like this is 1.9-2.2 meters, they have separate toilets, 5-7 sleeping places, the anchor chamber, captain’s table, the width is usually from 2.8 to 3.2 meters.
At the same time these yachts are still easy to manage, they are more or less manually-managed, I mean it is possible to strengthen by hands or turn with the oars.
Mooring fee for the boat like this in the Baltics is from 1000 euro per year, in the Mediterranean Sea (Tunisia) you will pay from 1000 euro per year, in Turkey, Greece or Spain — from 1500 euro per year, in France and Italy — from 2000 euro per year.
You can find the sailboat with renewed engine (it is very important! new motor and installation service will cost 6000-10000 euro for a boat like this) for 8000-10000 euro. It will also have refreshed sails and expensive equipment aboard (autopilot, fridge, life raft, navigator, echo sounder and so on).
Sometimes you can find a sailboat that was invested about 25000 euro but the owner sells it for 10000 euro (it is difficult to sell it at higher price, it takes long time. This is how the swedish market looks like).
My recommendation is to buy the sailboats that were updated a lot, this is the most profitable purchase as the investments in the equipment and updates never return. The more the sailboat was renewed the less money you will have to invest in it.
If you buy a boat like that and sail it to the neighboring Finland, Estonia, Germany or Holland it’s price will automatically rise on 20-30%. And if you sail it to the Med it’s price will rise to 20000 – 25000 euro.
I advice to read my book, don’t put it away for later. You will feel that you are closer to some concrete actions to make your dream come true, the plan will come to your mind, you will also understand what you need exactly and how to gain this.
